A need to bond more deeply with your loved ones can alternately inspire you to be more demonstrative and spark fears of vulnerability today. You may feel loving and nurturing yet also be driven by a hunger for closeness. Before you can satisfy your craving, however, you may need to divest yourself of your dread of appearing needy, weak, or exposed. Consider that your loved ones care for the whole of your being, not just those aspects of your personality they deem positive. With this in mind, open up to the people you care about—slowly at first, if need be. As you bare your soul today, you’ll likely find that your close friends and family appreciate you all the more for your openness. You can take your relationships to the next level by simply sharing your life with your loved ones.

Because strong relationships can only exist in an atmosphere of openness, baring your soul to the people most important to you is a powerful way of reinforcing the bond you share. A fear of exposing our vulnerabilities can prevent us from sharing ourselves completely with our most treasured loved ones. However, it is your willingness to let those individuals peer into your unmasked soul that demonstrates not only the depth of your affection but also the profundity of your trust. To your loved ones, your openness will shine in their eyes like a beautiful gift that can inspire but never demand reciprocation. As you open up to your loved ones today you will achieve a new level of closeness that satisfies your emotional needs.
